Chosen Solution

Hello, I always wanted a first generation iPhone and I bought a first generation IPhone to repair. I realized that my device is not reading SIM cards. Then I opened it and saw the broken pins. Can I just buy a broken motherboard and replace the sim slot? If not how could I fix it?

I have replaced sim holders on a lot of iPhones but not this model. It looks easy enough. I am not sure how much heat you will need to melt the solder on these models, if you flow the joints with low melt solder you shouldn’t have a problem although you will probably need a hot air station as well as an iron. The hardest part will be finding a non-working one to buy.
